Based on Google’s V8 JavaScript engine, Node.js allows developers to build scalable, real-time web applications with two-way connections between the client and server. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, which makes it perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. The Bitnami Node.js package includes the latest version of Node.js, Apache, Python, and Redis.

Why use the Bitnami Node.js Stack?

Bitnami makes it easy to run Node.js in the cloud, locally or virtually.
The Bitnami Node.js Stack is:

Up-to-date

We track every release of Node.js and update our stack
shortly after it's released.

Secure

If serious security issues are discovered, we provide new versions
of Node.js as soon as possible, often within hours of the
availability of a fix.

Consistent

With Bitnami, you get the same software stack and configuration
regardless of where you are deploying Node.js or other
Bitnami Applications. This makes it easy to migrate between different platforms.

With the Bitnami Node.js Stack compiling, configuring and all of its
dependencies are taken care of, so it works out-of-the-box.
